Support Your Healthy Immune System The Natural Way - Add DEFEND Now Turkey Tail Mushroom Capsules to Your Wellness Routine
Turkey Tail has high levels of specialized antioxidants called Polysaccharide Krestin (PSK is most often found in turkey tail mushroom species native to Japan), and Polysaccharide peptide (PSP is most often found in turkey tail mushroom species native to China). More than 400 clinical studies have been published in Japan showing the benefits of turkey tail for maintaining the immune system. The high levels of verified Beta-D-glucans (45%) in DEFEND Now Turkey Tail Mushroom Capsules make it a powerful sidekick for maintaining a healthy immune system all year round. For those with occasional digestive trouble, healthy mushrooms, including Turkey Tail, also contain polysaccharides that act as prebiotics to maintain healthy gut function.
See our "Studies + Research + References" page for more information about the beneficial effects of Turkey Tail Mushroom Extract.
